New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he was 'sick to my stomach' watching video of police in Buffalo pushing a 75-year-old protester to the ground.
"The Mayor of Buffalo suspended the police officers yesterday, immediately, and I believe the district-attorney is looking into it from a possible criminal liability point of view and I applaud the district attorney for moving quickly," he said.
The Governor said watching the video made him feel as sick as when he would receive the death toll from coronavirus each night.However, dozens of police officers in Buffalo have resigned from their roles controlling protests, because of the suspensions.
